I decided to label myself- and screw the ones who don't understand. If believing in the constitution makes me a radical, than so be it. <br /><br />I love the shirt I found on E-bay.

Very simple. There's no grand plan to take over the GOP. That's not what this is about. <br /><br />It's simply about Americans choosing their representation in government and having their voices heard.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149784619342993569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11032459.post-34859374168089747902010-09-20T12:41:20.427-05:002010-09-20T12:41:20.427-05:00Jim,

The attendees are photographed. The Tea Party patriots are real people. One can look at their faces. They're our neighbors and co-workers. <br /><br />Therefore, I think Alinsky's "personalize" rule does apply. <br /><br />I do agree with you completely on your point that the wheels have come off Obama's bus. That will make it more difficult for him to throw anyone else under it.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149784619342993569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11032459.post-10230493965932066542010-09-20T11:14:46.052-05:002010-09-20T11:14:46.052-05:00I just shared a link to this blog.

A co-opted media led by a hard core left wing wanna be dictatorship government would want you to believe that it is in fact all about the Republicans. And they would be dead wrong! The Tea Party movement is a fight for the heart and soul of our country! It is a fight to return us to what made us the greatest country in the world! How sad that entrenched politicians on the right along with the garbage on the left cannot or refuse to understand such a basic tenet!joetotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11032459.post-59906365517306679672010-09-20T10:44:52.016-05:002010-09-20T10:44:52.016-05:00What I find amusing is that this approach goes aga...What I find amusing is that this approach goes against Alinsky's principal because it specifically says "don't attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies." And nothing is more abstract than a true grass roots movement.<br /><br />Barry's so desperate that he's forgetting his play book.

Voting models showed them taking both chambers. But with T-party candidates winning 3 or 4 spots in Senate races, I believe that house is now safe for Ds. And the House is no longer a gimme either.<br /><br />Conventional wisdom dictates running toward the center in an off year. This lurch to the far right is going to really hurt Rs. Even if they do take the House, they will not have the numbers advantage they would have otherwise.jimspicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16316014985662331998noreply@blogger.com
